Sorry brah, but the 360 is a profitable undertaking now get your facts right.
|
The past two years the Xbox360 made a little money. But the years before Microsoft has lost billions of dollar with the Xbox360 and they don't have the slightest chance to get this money back in this console generation.

The point is you know that you are wrong, but just like you troll on German sites, you keep trolling here.
Xbox 360 is profitable since 2008 and recovered all the losses made before. Don't forget 500 million for Nokia, Kin, Zune, WinPhone 7 R&D, WinPhone 8 R&D alle happened in the past years and the 360 almost alone put that division over 1.3 billion USD profit in one year.

That it did, but Micrososft is still in the red overall as no xbox years made profit.

we are talking about the 360 here, which is already profitable if you add 500 million for Nokia, 300 million for Kin, 500 million for Zune HD. Add WInPhone and you get an idea how much money the Xbox 360 really made.
Of course the original Xbox was not profitable.

what does Nokia, Kin and Zune got to do with this? The profits above are the gaming divisions only (from what the original post shows). Microsoft would be well in the Black over all as a company. Otherwise I doubt they still be in the console business with being 6.78billion under for the last 10 years. I am glad these other sides of the buisness can support the losses, as we have recently seen XBOX finally hit a good stride with games and branding identity. Next gen xbox should be real interesting.
